How to Play

Option 1

In pairs or teams, distribute a set of cards in no particular order.

One person is chosen to improvise a story from the drawings on the cards. 

Since the perception of the pictures on the card differs from one person to another, the exercise stimulates creativity among participants, who in turn choose how to interpret the cards and tell the story in their own way.

Option 2

Place the cards face down in the middle. Draw one at a time. 

Participants and team members blindly draw cards from the pile, each sharing a work/life story that they associate with the picture.

Educational Conclusion

Improv cards are an excellent exercise to perfect your storytelling and improvisation techniques.
